Jeongeup-si Recruits 100 Helpers for Recycling Sorting and Separation

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City, Jeonbuk announced on the 18th that it will recruit 100 resource management assistants to help properly separate and sort recyclables due to the increase in single-use product usage caused by the surge in delivery and packaging consumption in the COVID-19 era.

The resource management assistants will engage in activities to separate and sort recyclable waste (plastic, waste vinyl, etc.) generated in apartment complexes and village collection points.

They will also play a role in educating and promoting proper separation and disposal methods of household waste to residents.

The resource management assistants will work from next month until November, and those wishing to work should apply by the 25th at their local eup/myeon office or dong community center.

Applicants must be between 18 and under 60 years old, reside (registered resident) in the selected eup/myeon/dong, and be able to perform the duties smoothly.

Additional points will be given to those with experience related to resource circulation, those who have closed or suspended businesses due to COVID-19, and long-term unemployed individuals.

The working hours are based on 8 hours per day, and a monthly salary of about 2.1 million KRW will be paid per person.

The city expects effects such as the successful establishment of the recycling separation and disposal system and prevention of recycling collection crises through the resource management assistants. Additionally, it anticipates benefits such as income stabilization for vulnerable employment groups through the expansion of public jobs.

A city official said, “This project will minimize complaints caused by incorrect separation and illegal dumping,” and added, “We will continue to actively respond to providing jobs for vulnerable employment groups and the collection and processing issues of recyclable waste in response to the COVID-19 crisis.”
